Roseate Spoonbill on West Metairie Rd

This morning at 8 am, I was able to excitedly point out a Roseate Spoonbill sitting on an islet in the neutral ground drainage canal on West Metairie, about a block west of Transcontinental, to my daughter on the way to school. 

We drove within ten yards of it.  This close to Lafreniere Park, I suspect it may roost there among the ibis this evening.

Good birding,

Peter
